So I broke out the airbrushes after a goodly long time, I bought some vallejo air and trying it out but Im not sure what im doing wrong here..not sure if its because I havent messed with it in a while or theres a certain mix ratio vallejo air needs..just wondering anyone else here tried this paint out?

I used the stuff on that Mag Egos dragon. What problems are you having?

Noel what sort of mix are you using..I read on the net while ago it was rated like 2-out of 5..doesnt inspire much hope with them now..Im trying water and flow max..any thoughts? seems to be spattering like a paintball against a tree..im hoping I havent gotten a batch thats sit forever..im screening it thru the syphon also just top be sure.

Honestly? I used it straight. Went on clean and heavy which given the size of the piece was exactly what I wanted. Mind you I went through like two bottles worth just getting the basecoat a simple shadow and a simple highlight, but it was a damned big dragon.

Noel ok I will shoot it straight and see what happens, hehe yeah big is a understatement ;)....

Noel seems to work alot better straight but with a very fine nozzle seems to dry super fast and clog easy..course im using a single action here..not sure if a double would make a difference I havent tried it yet.
